From the

President

We had no idea how this young col-

lege would grow, or how the campus

would be built. We only knew we had

conrmation rom the Lord that PCC

should be established.

God, in His mercy and grace, built

and completed the PCC campus by

raising up A Beka Book, an exceptional

education and textbook ministry . God

spared me rom the task o soliciting

potential donors or money to build

this institution. Since I lack abilitiesin that area, I am grateul God pro-

vided another way to do that. PCC

has not accepted ederal or state unds

or government-unded student loans,

which most Christian institutions do.

A Beka Book is now granting an op-

portunity to all semester 2010 new students who pay tuition, room and

board or reshmen, sophomore, and

the junior year and attend their senior

year free rom tuition, room and

Church

Change?

Does the

by Albert Mohler

What is the church doing wrong?Churches in many ways have actually added to the problem. They

promote the idea o the church as a ull-service entertainment andactivity center, where you take children away rom their parents andput them in a dierent peer culture. Now it’s a church peer culture.What happens when they grow out o that?

The local church must be a warm ellowship o believers

who are living out holiness and aithulness to Christ.

How churches and parents can prevent teens from leaving the church

2 | PCC UPDATE SPRING 2010




What steps can the church taketo do better?

• Focus on expository preaching, and teach how to think biblically.

The pulpit has to take responsibility. In artoo many churches there is just no expository preaching [teaching that expounds on a par-ticular text o Scripture]. There isn’t the robustbiblical preaching that sets orth the Word o God and then explains how the people o Godmust think dierently and live dierently inorder to be aithul to that Word.

• Show the seriousness of church,including personal accountability.

The local church must be a robust gospelpeople. It must be a warm ellowship o believers… who are really living out holinessand aithulness to Christ, and being mutually accountable or that.

• Give answers about current issues. We’re not giving our kids adequate inorma-tion on some very crucial issues. Look at thequestions that the average teenager is acing,“Why aren’t you physically intimate with yourgirlriend?” “Why don’t you believe in evolu-tion?” “Why don’t you accept this worldview?”“Why don’t you accept this liestyle?”

I we aren’t giving them intellectual material,intellectual knowledge, substance, and con-dence, we shouldn’t be surprised when they go

with the fow….

• Explain how the gospel is unfolding through real history.

The Christian aith, the Christian truth claim,

the gospel, is rst o all a master narrative—a true story—about lie, about God’s purpose

to bring glory to Himsel. It has our majormovements: Creation, Fall, Redemption,Consummation.

The only way to understand the great story o

the gospel is to begin with the act that God isthe Creator and He is the Lord o all.

I we don’t anchor our children in that story,i they think that Christianity is merely a bunch o stu to believe, i they don’t ndtheir identity in that—in which they say, “Yes,that’s my story. This is where I am”—thenthey are going to all away.

What are parents doing wrong? We’ve got to start treating young people asa mission eld, not just assuming that merenurture will lead them into Christian disciple-ship and into Christian aith.

Parents need to take a big responsibility here.

The one thing we know rom the entirety o the Scripture is that parents have the non-negotiable responsibility to train, educate,nurture their own children into the aith, toconront them with biblical truth, to groundthem in the Scriptures.

We also have, on the part o many Christianparents, a buy-in to a new secular under-

standing o parenthood. We are letting ourchildren make big decisions ar too early. A teenager making decisions about whether heor she is going to participate in church activi-ties or be at church…is making decisions thatshould be made or him or her.

Social Indoctrination

What caused children o the“religious right” to change their

moral imperatives so dramatically?

by Phyllis Schlafy

hy did 18-to-29-year-old evan-gelicals vote or Barack Obama despite his apostasy on the un-

damental moral issues o abortion and same-sex unions? They voted 32% or Obama,twice the percentage o that demographicgroup who voted or John Kerry in 2004.

Social Justice IndoctrinationMany o these young people identiy “social

justice” as the reason that led them to rele-gate the prime moral issues o lie and mar-riage to the back burner. But the term “social

justice” does not dene a moral cause—it islet-wing jargon to overturn those who haveeconomic and political power.

What caused young evangelicals, the childreno the so-called “religious right,” to change

their moral imperatives so dramatically?Most likely it’s the attitudes and decision-making they learned in the public schools,

which 89% o U.S. students attend.

Propaganda CentersThe public schools took a major let turnin the 1960s, when humanist John Dewey and the instructors he trained at Columbia Teachers College began their put-down o

objective truth and authoritative notionso good and evil. In the 1970s, Sidney Si-mon’s best-seller Values Clarication taughtstudents to cast o their parents’ valuesand make their own choices, oten aidedby Kinsey-trained sexperts determined tochange our sexual mores.

By the 1980s, many radical antiwar activistso the 1960s had become tenured collegeproessors, so teachers colleges and publicschools opened their doors to “social justice”instruction. Among these ’60s radicals was

Weather Undergrounder William Ayers,

who…emerged as a proessor o educationat the University o Illinois at Chicago.

Ayers developed quite a ollowing as hetaught resentment against America. In2008, he was elected by his peers as vicepresident or curriculum studies o the

American Education Research Association,the nation’s largest organization o educationproessors and researchers….






America’s Schools

Christian Action NetworkIslam’s Influence

normation sent out by the Christian Action Network inormsthat some public schools across the country are teaching andpracticing the Muslim cult with their students.

In Bryon Unied School District, Calior-nia, seventh grade students were given an“Islamic Student Guide” which specically states: “From the beginning you and yourclassmates will become Muslim.” The pro-gram has been upheld as constitutional by the 9th Circuit Court o Appeals.

This same school taught or asked studentsto: (1) Recite aloud Muslim prayers thatbegin with, “In the name o Allah, MostGracious, Most Merciul,” (2) Memorizethe Muslim proession o aith: “Allah isthe only true God and Muhammad is hismessenger,” (3) Chant “Praise be to Allah”





Christian Action Network in Maranatha Baptist Watchman, 9/09. Used by permission.

Public schools across thecountry are teaching and

practicing the Muslimcult with their students.

In Nyssa, Oregon, students aretaught: (1) How to say Muslimprayers, (2) The Five Pillarsof Islamic Faith, (3) Key scriptures from the Koran,

(4) To dress up as Muslims,(5) To perform Islamic skits,and (6) To build Muslim props.

A suburban school in Dallas allowsMuslims to leave class to pray. A Min-neapolis school allows Muslim students toorganize an hour of prayer on Fridays. In

Dearborn, Michigan, Muslim students aregiven two days off to celebrate the Islamicholiday of Ramadan.

In Irmo High School in Columbia, SouthCarolina, students are required to: (1) Createa pamphlet which would teach people aboutIslam, (2) Discuss the Five Pillars o Islam.(3) Students were told that all religions are

based on Islam, (4) Taught that the UnitedStates is a “Judeo-Christian-Muslim” nation.(5) Muslim students are allowed to use theschool library or prayer each day.

in response to prompts by the teacher, (4)Proess as true, the Muslim belie that “theHoly Quran is God’s Word,” (5) Give upcandy and TV to demonstrate the Muslimholy month o Ramadan, (6) Take an Arabic

name rom a list o 30, (7) Play a game called“Race to Mecca,” (8) Wear an emblem o the Muslim star and crescent moon aroundtheir necks, (9) Recite the ollowing jihadistprayer: “Believers, why is it that when it issaid to you: ‘March in the cause o Allah,’you linger slothully in the land?...i you donot ght, He will punish you sternly and

replace you with other men.”

“The only thing healthy about Congress’ health insurance legislationis the healthy skepticism about it by most o the public, as revealedby polls. What is most unhealthy about this legislation is the rawarrogance in the way it was conceived and passed.”

Supporters o government health insurancecall its passage “historic.” Past attemptsto pass such legislation — going back or

President

Author and economist Thomas Sowell is a noted conservative who requently writes on social issues. He studied at Harvard and Columbia universities andhas taught at Cornell, Stanord, and UCLA. He has written over 20 books.




“Health Care Bill about Obama’s Legacy — Not Us” 1/11/10 By permission o Thomas Sowell and Creators Syndicate, Inc.

“stimulus” bill to spend hundreds o bil-lions o dollars that the government doesn’thave— and that may well amount to morethan a trillion dollars when the interest on

the debt it creates is added, or this and thenext generation to pay o.

Legislation is not the only sign o this ad-ministration’s contempt or the intelligenceo the public and or the saeguards o democratic government.

The appointment o White House “czars”to make policy across a wide spectrum o issues — unknown people who get aroundthe Constitution’s requirement o Senateconrmation or Cabinet members — is yetanother sign o the mindset that sees theundamental laws and values o this country as just something to get around, in order toimpose the will o an arrogant elite.

That some o these “czars” have already re-vealed their own contempt or the values o

American society in the things they have saidand done only reinorces the point.

In a sense, this administration is only the endresult o a long social process that includesraising successive generations with dumbed-down education in schools and colleges thathave become indoctrination centers or thevisions o the let. Our education systemhas turned out many people who have neverheard any other vision and who can only learn what is wrong with the prevailing vi-sion rom bitter experience.

That bitter experience now awaits them, athome and abroad.

impotent is a ormula or disaster at electiontime. Far better to pass even bad legislationthat will not actually go into eect untilater the 2012 presidential election, so that

the public will not know whether it makesmedical care better or worse until it is toolate or the voters to hold the administrationaccountable.

The utter cynicism o this has been apparentrom the outset, in the rush to pass a healthcare bill in a hurry, in order to meet wholly arbitrary, sel-imposed deadlines. First it

was supposed to be passed beore the August2009 Congressional recess. Then it was sup-posed to be passed beore Labor Day. Whenthat didn’t happen, it was supposed to berushed to passage beore Christmas.

Why — especially since the legislation wouldnot take eect until years rom now?

The only rational explanation or such hasteto pass a bill that will be slow to go intoeect is to prevent the public rom know-ing what is in this massive legislation thateven members o Congress are unlikely tohave read. That is also the only reason thatmakes sense or postponing the time whenObamacare goes into action ater the next

presidential election.

What does calling this medical care legisla-tion “historic” mean? It means that previousadministrations gave up the idea when itbecame clear that the voting public did not

want government control o medical care. What is “historic” is that this will be the rstadministration to show that it doesn’t care onebit what the public wants or doesn’t want.

In short, this is not about the public’s health.It is about Obama’s ego and his chance toimpose his will and leave a legacy.

This is not the only massive legislation tobe rushed to passage in Congress and then

let to go into eect slowly. The same po-litical ormula was used earlier, to pass the

“Such haste to pass a bill that will be slow to go into

effect is to prevent the public from knowing what is

“I regard PCC, theaculty, and instruc-tion I received as gitsrom God. The busi-ness and account-ing aculty did notsimply teach classes,they cared about meas a student and an

individual. And the combination o busi-ness, accounting, and computer skills—applied rom the oundation o a biblical

worldview—is one o the most powerulcombinations any business-minded proes-sional could have. Without attending PCCand receiving the instruction there, I wouldnot be as successul in my career.”

Lessons Learned in the Field: “We are to

continuously strive to improve things aroundus. God did not give us intelligent minds so we could get stuck in routines. A commonbusinessman who is o average intelligence,but who is ull o energy and willing to adaptto the ever-changing business environment,is more useul than a genius who rarely leaveshis comort zone.

“The most rewarding part o working in busi-ness is seeing ideasand processes cometogether to driveprotability. Theteamwork requiredto make everything

work is exciting and ullling.”

“Without attending PCC and re-ceiving the instruction there,I would not be as successul

in my career.”




Lessons Learned in the Field: “It’s easy or speech students to ask, ‘What am Isupposed to do with a speech degree?’ My answer is, ‘Whatever God wants you to do.’God has led me very clearly and given mean interesting, varied, and ullling careeras a proessional actor, teacher, and museuminterpreter. There really are opportunitiesor speech students to make a living in thearts without compromising their standardsor love or God.

“Museums are great places or speech majors,especially within the living history eld.There are also a growing number o op-portunities or acting in Christian theatersaround the country. Beyond that, the ability to communicate well is a vital skill that canopen doors in many career elds.”

“In high school, I enjoyed speech and drama and wanted to pursue it urther, not knowing

what I would do or a career. PCC’s speechprogram couldn’t have prepared me any more perectly or my career! The work I didin oral interpretation, storytelling, and dra-matic production classes at PCC was exactly

what I needed or my job—I continually usetools gained at PCC in my work.”
